THOMAS TOOTILL, brother of Symon, and uncle of William Tuttle of New Haven, lived in Holcot and afterwards in Woodford, both in co Northampton; m ANNE _____. His will, dated 14 June 1639, proved 12 Dec 1640 at Northampton, named his THREE sons, and made his wife and son Robert co-executors.
The will of Thomas TUTTELL or TOOTELL was dated 14 June 1639 (over four years after the Planter had taken the three TUTTELLs to Boston, Mass) and proved in 1640, leaves to "John my eldest sonn". The nature of the bequests and other points in this will indicates that this John, who was bp 4 June 1596 at Holcot, Northamptonshire was a farmer (John who came on the Planter was a mercer) and strongly implies that he was in England on land neighboring that of his father Thomas in 1640 when Thomas' will was proved in Northamptonshire. Other items in early Mass. records and writings also imply that the Planter TUTTELLs were "three brothers" and I am quite convinced that this is correct. Clearly THERE WERE TWO John TUTTELLs, first cousins, and both born c1596.
